About this listen

 This is Going to Hurt was the publishing phenomenon of the century, read by many millions, loved by at least fifty of them, and adapted into a major TV series. But it was only part of the story.

By turns hilarious, heartbreaking and humbling, Undoctored is about what happens when a doctor hangs up his scrubs, but medicine refuses to let go of him.

It's about an extraordinary medical school education.
It's about opening old wounds and examining the present-day scars.
It's about hospital admissions and personal ones.
It's about blowing up your life and stitching it back together.
It's about being a doctor and being a patient.
It's about 300 pages long.

Undoctored is Adam Kay's funniest and most moving book yet - an astonishing portrait of a life in and out of medicine, from one of Britain's finest storytellers.

This unabridged audio download, narrated by the author, features extra diary entries recorded in audio for the first time, and an audiobook exclusive interview with bestselling author and broadcaster The Reverend Richard Coles.

I wasn't sure about this beforehand, and feared it might feel a bit forced after the success of his original book. But I really enjoyed it, perhaps even more so given the variation in topics.

Editing-wise, there are some weirdly long gaps between sentences, particularly at the start, but listening on 1.1 speed made it less noticeable.

Really good

Another funny, poignant, fascinating and thought provoking book by Adam Kay - I enjoyed this as much as, if not even more, than his first two books written for adults. Excellent narration too. Highly recommend!

Honest, funny, self deprecating, witty and deeply human! I laughed a lot listening to this whilst on the tube so got plenty of weird looks. Totally worth it!

His best book so far!
